[Vala] Export vapi from libray
Hi, I would like to export an interface to some C structures from a vala library that provides a number of other classes, etc. If I include the vapi and associated .h file in the library, it compiles fine, but does not export the contents of the referenced vapi in the library vapi. How would one go about including the vapi contents in the library interface? Thanks for your attention. ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
[Vala] Testing out parameters
Is there a way to test if an out parameter has been provided, assuming I default it to null? In the case I want to avoid an expensive calculation if it's not required? Thanks for your attention. ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list

In the old days you could check if if (param == null), not sure if still works. ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
Re: [Vala] Export vapi from libray
If this is a shared library, it's not generally desirable to do so. What if the user wants to use both your library and the library you have re-exported? This will cause conflicts if there are any changes between the two versions. More likely, you want to declare dependencies. This is done using a `.deps` file of the same name as your `.vapi` file. It lists the other packages on which you depend. The Vala compiler will automatically import them as if they were specified with the `--pkg` flag. There are plenty in `/usr/share/vala-*/vapi/*.deps`. For example, `webkit2gtk-4.0.deps` has the contents: gtk+-3.0 libsoup-2.4 If the library is static, then there really isn't a good mechanism. Any functions declared `public extern` in `.vala` will be exported, so you can migrate some of the VAPI to `.vala` files. You could also `cat` the two VAPIs together. This is pretty bad. I would probably convert the static library to shared and then use the `.deps` mechanism instead.

[Vala] Using monodevelop for developing VALA?
Hi, Someone is using monodevelop 4 or 5 to develop on vala? Because I cannot get it recognize vala projects. It can compile old ones but I cannot create new projects. Monodevelop is still working for vala? Best regards, ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
Re: [Vala] Using monodevelop for developing VALA?
Hi! I updated mono vala plugin for MonoDevelop 5. Yannick Inizan created nice PPA for it here: https://launchpad.net/~inizan-yannick/+archive/ubuntu/mono Source code is here: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/vala-list/2014-August/msg00049.html Please note that: - I rewrote the references part (fixed, references and configurations) so it will not open old projects correctly (you have to recreate solution and project files) - I do not maintain it (I'm working on plugin for IntelliJ, but this is not open source for now) Best Regards, Marek On 11/21/14, Gonzalo Aguilar Delgado gagui...@aguilardelgado.com wrote: Hi, Someone is using monodevelop 4 or 5 to develop on vala?

Marek, do you plan to eventually open source your plugin for IntelliJ? Steven N. Oliver On Fri, Nov 21, 2014 at 9:58 AM, Marek Gibek gib...@gmail.com wrote: Hi!

Re: [Vala] Using monodevelop for developing VALA?
The only reason it's not open source is I'm planning to make business on it ;) You know, create multiplatform UI framework in Vala / OpenGL / WPF inspired, abstraction for system libraries, IDE plugin - write once, run everywhere (Windows, Linux, Android, iOS etc). Everybody has dreams - don't blame me for mines :D At some stage, I plan to make it open source (whole platform). With no restrictions if I fail. Or dual license - free for open source projects - if I succeed. So, please keep fingers crossed for any of those scenarios ;) Cheers, Marek On 11/21/14, Steven Oliver oliver.ste...@gmail.com wrote: Marek, do you plan to eventually open source your plugin for IntelliJ?
